Jurassic Park and Writing Fantasy

My wife and I watched the original Jurassic Park in the theaters in 3D. It is amazing that it has been thirty years since it came out. The subject matter and the questions that the movie asks are still relevant today, and there was a real moral component to the movie that was immaterial. It did not have a particular ideological message like we see with many movies today but a more universal message that questions science, technology and morality.

I am hesitant writing anything involving hard science simply because I like to write about things that are not totally grounded in reality. Fantasy is fun that way because what I imagine can be put into paper without the burden of the real world. That is not to say that I will not be logical, as a human character, for example, will still have the strengths and weaknesses of humans. Something like magic does not always have to be explained, but just a product of that world without much explanation.

I think that in the future, I can branch out a bit more. Science fiction does sound interesting to me, especially since good science fiction contains social commentary. A humanistic drama could be something to look into as well. For now though, I will still to what I like, which is fantasy and hope that others will like it too.
